Lisa, Jill and Family, it took me a little bit to put my thoughts together. Your Mom was a great lady that i have known since moving in next door. So many memories included everyone and i it was always Pat Keesten and your Mom on the swing watch all the crazy kids do whatever we did and all the kids were treated as if they were their own..I always made sure to stop when i saw the front door open and say Hi Ma and without looking she would say Hi Wen without looking up. I loved sitting on the front step telling her the gossip i heard and she would tell me what she heard then get her laughing until my Das came and shoed me home and then he would sit and talk.She was an amazing lady and i am so very sorry she is not with us physically but she will live in the hearts of everyone she lived and loved her back and left behind. I am comforted to know that your Dad and Todd made sure she got there and im sure Tom Waters came to visit. Well my Mom is the watch of our end of Bittersweet. Rest in heavenly peace and know that you took alot of love when you left . I will never forget the lWoman she was, kind, loving and a heart of gold. My love to you girls and know if you need anythng one of us are around. Wendy Waters Pasanen

I believe my mother was in the hospital with Pat while she was delivering Todd and I was being born. I’m blessed to have closely known the entire family as neighbors and friends and was blessed as they attended my father Fred’s memorial recently. Sending love and Peace. James Parr
